COLDFUSION REACTION

Hi,
This is an extract from the SUNDAY TIMES OF INDIA. This may be a reference to the students performing cold fusion research.

RASAVADAM

MERCURY TURNING TO GOLD

The vast alchemical knowledge of ancient Indian rishis who knew the secret of converting mercury to gold was found on one of the walls of the Birla temple in New Delhi . A Hindi inscription describes formation of gold from MERCURY. A translation of this inscription is as follows;

On 27-5-42 in Birla House Shri Pandit Krishnapal Sharma made approximately 1 tola gold from 1 tola of mercury in front of Prime Minister of All India Hindu Sevak sangh, Mr.Amritlal B. Thakkar , Secretary of Birla Mills Mr. Goswami ganesh Duttji Lahore, and a few others.
Mercury was put inside a shell of reetha. In the mercury was mixed about 1 or 11/2 ratti of a white powder of some herb [jari-butti] and another yellow powder. Then the reetha shell was closed by clay and the whole thing put into the hollow of an earthern lamp and put on fire. For about 45 minutes, the fire was stoked by a fan till the coal got burnt completely to ashes. The lamp was then put into water to remove the contents From the hollow of the earthern lamp a lump of gold was extracted. On weighing it was found to be one or two ratti less than 1 tola. It was dry.
All were quite amazed to witness this process.



A similar inscription also exists in Varanasi’s Birla temple.

In 1943, a Pandit Krishnapal Rasavaidya, a Punjab resident performed the experiment in Rishikesh in the presence of PA of Mahatma Gandhi, Mr.Mahadeva Desai and Goswami and G K Birla.

Mercury provided by Desai was made into gold about 18kg in weight, which was donated to SAMADHAN DHARMA PRATINIDI SABHA, PUNJAB which fetched Rs. 72,000 to the trust.
This experiment was repeated by Pandit Krishna Pal Sharma in presence of Pratap singh, Benares Hindu University.


There are plenty of references in ancient Indian texts to this kind of alchemy. Researchers say that this is a low energy nuclear reaction, termed as cold fusion which modern science has consistently refused to believe it to be taking place at room temperature. Amit Roy, director of Inter-University Accelerator Centre in Delhi says, “With our present knowledge there is no explanation for cold fusion. But if it is proven it could re-write the rules of science.” The results of the cold fusion experiments have not always been consistent and reproducible.

Former Associate Director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre(BARC), the fi rst one to conduct such an experiment , advocates cold fusion. He asserts conversion of mercury to gold is true. The basis of his confidence lies in his experiment conducted between 1989 and 1994 at BARC which yielded positive results. “Because of these positive results we started pursuing this field with great interest and hope. Unfortunately, it was killed in India by some senior scientists.”

Cold Fusion could lead to
1. the development of decentralized [gridless ] source of power which opens up limitless possibilities, as virtually every house can then create its own electricity, using clean resources of fuel like water, without producing any readioactive or hazardous wastes.
2. When perfected it can yield gold from mercury.


Recent research by Japanese physicist Yoshiaki Arata ,on May 22 reported high degree of reproducibility raising hopes that cold fusion reactions can become a reality. While China, Japan and Russia are pumping money into cold fusion research, India continues to lag behind though its much cheaper than many other types of atomic research since funding agencies are not encouraging in this field. This is primarily because top scientists have closed their eyes to its possibilities. Its time they woke up to its reality” says Srinivasan.
